trump loves this guy. oh, what a bromance these two have get a room, you two. i mean, jesus trump is showing him around the oval office. he showed him the you know the trump has that model of a 747. he shows everybody and bin laden mohammed bin laden was very impressed with it. he said, that's beautiful. we can't wait to fly it into something. i said, the saudis, it's no, they had a he's now mbs. he's not officially the head of state. so it couldn't be a state dinner. but they gave him a great big dinner. it was, in effect, a state dinner. you know, where they have, like, celebrities. you know, it was there for the for the big dinner. christian ronaldo, the soccer player. the saudis love soccer because it's the one sport you can play after they chop your hands off. it's. so he and then today, you know

who was there today at the white house, house, madame. the new mayor of new york and. trump said to him, i don't understand you guys. why wait for the afterlife to enjoy this 72 virgins? that's what jeffrey epstein's are for on earth. but but it is amazing. i mean, i don't want to tip my thing at the end of the show, but this is exactly what i'm going to be talking about. he met him in person, madame, and great meeting. i mean, the night before, just like the night before i went there. he's an asshole. he's a shithead. i know you know, he's a communist now. trump is. he's a great guy. great meeting. he said, you know, they asked him, you know, what about the communists? and he says, well, you know, he said, maybe he'll change. my views have changed. trump said,

i'd love to live in new york under this guy. he might be a great mayor. see, that's what it is. you got to talk to people and negotiate. i mean, the new yorkers, you know, they negotiated mamdani. they each got something they wanted. they wanted trump's help on affordability issues. yes. and trump wanted to a guarantee that he can still stand in the middle of fifth avenue and shoot someone. a white kid, always with love. but yeah, i mean, the trump oh, that epstein thing. trump did a total 180 last week. we were all talking about it. he won't release the files this week. it's like, well, the epstein files. oh sure. we're going to release those. so they are going to release the epstein files. but you know, always the fine print. they're going to be redacted. so, you know, people are already saying, what's the point? epstein got away with it. well, he got away with having

sex with underage girls. he hung himself in his jail cell. i'm not sure that means getting away with something. david bowie, he got away with it no. trump is very touchy about the epstein thing. since a reporter asked him, did you see this this week on. i think it was on air force one brought up that issue, and trump said to a woman reporter who said to a quiet piggy, quiet piggy, and then listen to this. at the press conference the next day, his press secretary, karoline leavitt, spun this by saying, it's actually admirable. he said, it's the president being frank and open and honest. that's good. well, in that case, shut up bitch. no, you

said. i mean, i'm telling you if you go near this epstein thing, he does not like it. marjorie taylor greene was his biggest ally. and then she was, you know, all in on. we got to get the epstein files. and this week, trump went nuts on her. she's a disgrace. she's a disgrace. she's wacky. she's a ranting lunatic. all i can say is, marjorie, welcome to the club. yeah. all right. we got a wonderful show for our finale. donna, brazile and michael render killer mike are here. >> wolf out. >> at great wolf lodge. there's excitement in every slide. adventures waiting to begin. and dance parties every night. so bring your pack together and book your stay now and save up to 40%. >> how do i go that big without spending that much and to lowe's. >> they have cool decorations

>> she is host of the mel robbins podcast and author of the number one bestselling book the let them theory, a life changing tool that millions of people can't stop talking about. true dat mel robbins is over. >> here. >> hi, how are you? what a great pleasure to meet you. nice to meet you. thank you. thank you for having me. hi everybody i. >> i know everybody wants you on their show. they do? they, you know, you know they do. and you came here. i can't tell you how much i appreciate that. >> oh, really? well, thank you. oh, we all. >> we know this. >> is true. >> i mean to say your book is a phenomenon is an understatement. i mean, this is an area where people don't read anymore. i know, you. >> know. >> somebody said to me the other day, oh, you know, barnes and nobles, i always see people there. yeah, they're buying a cat calendar and the let them theory. yeah. and the let them theory. yes. i mean, the numbers

are just off the charts. if i went into the bookstore, would it be under self-help? is that still a term that they use? do you not like that term? do you don't care. is it still self-help? >> let them. i don't care what they call it. as long as people read it. >> yes. okay. >> but i mean, that is one of the more popular sections in the bookstore. and there's a lot of people in that. why did your message resonate so much more than all the other people who are working that side of the street? >> well, i'll tell you why. there's a number of reasons. first of all, it's a great freaking book. like as you read it, you can get through it in a day and a half. it's hilarious and profound. >> right? >> and it works. and you don't need to buy the book. i'm going to tell you how to use the theory. the theory is so simple. it basically is this the fastest way to lower your stress and to have more peace and control in your life is stop trying to control everybody else. let them have their opinions, their behavior, and take all the power

and time that you've been wasting on other people and bring it back here. and let me focus on my thoughts, my actions, and the way that i want to live my life. and life gets very simple and a lot more peaceful, and you feel more powerful and in control. and so that's how you use it. four words, let them and let me. but here's why it. >> works. >> it it reduces the number one source of stress, in everybody's life. and that's other people. other people are so annoying right? their opinions, their close talking, their judgments, their expectations. and the more you try to control them, the less control you feel. and it's much easier to just say let them. it is. and it's also the other reason why this thing has spread around the world is when you start to read it. i'm the villain in the book. i'm the control freak. that's really irritating. you're either going to see yourself or somebody you love, and so you start to read it and you feel better about your boss, who you hate and you feel better that traffic isn't

getting to you. and then you start to go, oh, my god, my mother needs this. my sister needs this. and so everybody is not only reading it, bill, they're giving it to their families. and here's what i love. we all love saying let them. there's an irish version of this. i'm not going to say what it is f them right. >> oh, right. >> you could say that on basic tv now, right? >> that's true, that's true. >> this is fucking. >> hbo. we can, you know, fuck them is the. >> irish version of this. and when you're like, let them, let them, let them, you feel superior. but then what happens is you now have to figure out, okay, what do i do? i realize my siblings never call me back and i make all the effort. let them. my friends always go out without me and they don't invite me. my boss is rude to me and i don't like my job. let them, let them, let them. but now what? now you say, let me. let me choose how i'm going to respond to the reality that i'm dealing with. and that's where you take your control back. and what i love about this bill, and i love

about people using it, is that you first start using it because you are annoyed with other people. i mean, we have families because it teaches you how to love people you hate. sometimes. and that's also why people get married. it teaches you that. but as you start to say, let them, you're forcing yourself to learn how to accept people as they are and as they're not. and you have to confront how judgmental you are of the other people in your life and learn how to let them be who they are. let them have the dignity of their own experience, and you start to recognize how much time and energy you burn up over the headlines, over people's expectations, over traffic. and it's stupid because your time and energy. >> but not everything, is to let them case right. >> everything is well. >> if you're being sexually harassed at the office, that's none of that's true. >> let them. okay, well, here's what it is. >> let them do it. >> well, no, because they've already done it. so when you say let them, you're not allowing it. you're forcing yourself to recognize the situation you're in and that you're not going to

change what's happening by trying to change them. you have to take the power and go, okay, well, let me recognize this is a situation i'm in. let me stop gaslighting myself and making excuses and like, sticking around and beating myself up and let me remind myself that i get to choose what i do next. am i going to hr? am i leaving this job? am i hiring an attorney? all of the energy that you're spending, complaining about it, worrying about it, beating yourself up, telling yourself there's nothing you can do. there's always something you can do. >> but that would be more like stop them. yes, than let them. >> well. >> there are sometimes let them has to be stopped them. >> no. of course in situations where it's dangerous or discriminatory or somebody is getting hurt. of course you step in and stop them if that's your values, because the number one rule is you can't change another person. people only change when they're ready to change for themselves, period. >> oh yeah, i've learned that the hard way. yes, we all have bills. we all have. yeah.

>> well, i mean, i mean, your life was the hard way. i mean, i mean, you came from places that most people haven't been deep in debt drinking, day drinking. >> what? wasn't that what you're doing today? >> yeah. not not drinking. and i don't. people think i smoke before the show, i, i don't smoke right before the show. >> i was going to say that's a huge disappointment. everybody. that's the key. >> that would. >> be wrong. well, my husband was like, okay. >> mel, i know, let them, but don't smoke before the show. smoke after. i don't want you to embarrass yourself on television. >> killer mike is here. trust me, it's going to. >> happen. okay. >> but before we run out of time, let's get to the other part of it. because it's not just let them. it's let me. yes. and you are very adamant in the book, over and over you make the point. one does not work

without the other. correct. so let's make sure people understand what the. let me part of it is. >> right. so once you start saying let them and you protect your time and energy from other people, and you also force yourself to accept people as they are, you're never going to change your mom or dad. you got to learn to let them be who they are. it will reduce so much pressure in your life. now pull it back here and say, let me like take the holidays. if you're going to go home and spend time with your family, stop gripping the wheel hoping it's different. these people have been the same their whole lives. so when you start going, let them right? you are forcing yourself to recognize they are who they are. they have their opinions. i'm just going to let them be. now, let me remind myself i get to choose what i think about this. i get to choose how much time and energy i spend here. i mean, you can get up from a dining room table, you can get out of a text chain, you can divert a conversation away from a topic. you're not a victim here. you're in control of what you do in response. and if you look at this, is how you take responsibility for your

life. this is how you change things for the better. and responsibility, bill is the ability to respond. that's what that word means. >> i mean, i feel you're doing my work here. for me, this is like a theme show because because again, this is i mean, again, this is going to be the end of my show. it's every week, every year at thanksgiving, i have to do basically the same theme, which is telling people, don't cut off your family. >> no. >> it's just it's just terrible. and, and and you know, and i said this a few weeks, a few months ago, we did an editorial here on the show where i talked about trump and the fact that there are things that really still i am very adamant about, and i will never stop talking about. there are other things where i just it's like in meditation where they say, just let the cloud pass you know, like i see so many people who are upset about him building a ballroom. i could give a fuck. >> i don't give a shit about it because we're. >> paying for it. >> whether you. >> know we're not or not. >> no, we're not paying for it. it's private. first of all, even if we did, you.

>> it's already bulldozed. so any time you spend burning up about it, it's already happened. you have to decide what are you going to do in response to it? >> and it's like, not the thing i want to concentrate on. okay, so many bigger things that i that are consequential, that i don't like him doing. and and they would they tried to gin everybody up about well they're knocking down the the white house. they've they've changed the white house house before. and the white white house does actually need a ballroom. you know, we're we're a big country. we were having state dinners and people were like in under a tent. i've had better parties than. >> that. so i am not, you know, but i. >> still do think you have to choose your battles. you have to pick what you get upset. >> so if this were the dining room table and you're saying something that pisses me off, right? right. and i'm not suggesting that that pisses me off, but you're at a dining room table with your family. you get to choose how much energy that opinion takes up. up here, you get to choose whether or not

you allow it to burn you up inside. you get to choose whether or not you're going to engage. and so what i love about let them and let me is all day long you have this slice and dice that you can do where you force yourself and allow yourself to recognize what's in your control and what's not. and when it comes to opinions and families, i agree with you. the thing that's separating us is our inability to sit with each other and allow each other the dignity of their own, their own experience and opinion. right? even if it offends, offends us. instead of leaning away, we have to learn how to sit with our upsetness and lean toward each other and go, well, why might you believe that? >> right, exactly. >> help me understand that. >> so i think i have a self-help book in me. i'm never going to write it. but i was reading about gen z, and and i don't blame them for they have full of anxiety. and i was this article was, well, a.i. they think it's

going to take all. it might take all their jobs. might, might the robots might kill us all. i mean, you know, trump, there's going to be no jobs left. nuclear stuff. climate change, like my book would be called. it's not going to be that because. >> then what's. >> it going to. >> be at 70? what i've learned in life is whatever you think the future is, it could be shitty. it's not going to be what you think it is. so stop with the anxiety and just live your life because it's not going to. >> be that well. that's life's trick on you always. well, here's what i believe. >> i believe that we don't know what it's going to be. and if you're going to bother going, what if, what if, what if, you might as well also go, well, what if it all works out? >> yes. >> what if i'm. >> more capable. >> than i. >> know, right, exactly. anyway, again, i know you want. everybody wants you. and you came here means so much to me. it's perfect for our thanksgiving show. i hope you do it again. congratulations on the. biggest book. ever.

>> no robbins. great to meet you. i hope i get to zamboni that came in to clean up after you your routine. i appreciate that. >> do you think you can credibly lead a government? >> would you like to tell me why you don't think i can? i've three years to do as much as we can. how do we shine a light on the humanity i know is still there? >> prime minister, now streaming on the cnn app. >> so my fridge broke. what do i do now? >> lowe's. if you find a lower price on the same item, they'll match it with their lowest price guarantee and they do next day delivery on hundreds of appliances. >> lowe's helps you get more holiday for less. >> moorhay is always put the ones he loves first, but when it comes to caring for his teeth, he's led his own maintenance. take a back seat. well, maybe it's time to shift gears on that. aspen dental has complete affordable care all under one roof, plus free exams and x rays

each other and i do appreciate them so much. and what they do and. >> how brilliant they are. thank you. >> somehow it's easier to say it on the air than in. >> private. >> but i want to ask you to, since we are looking now to 2026, we will not be on again until 2026. that is going to be. i keep saying democrats are going to win big. the party in power. they always do it. they get drunk with power and then people, people. it creates this backlash. certainly this administration has done that. so let's just go through who might be the front runner, because we are going to in 2026. be the be pretty by then, i think know who was going to be the democratic nominee. who do you think the democratic nominee should be for president? and who do you want it to be? >> i'll let this young man go first. get your ass in trouble. >> yeah, yeah i'm a. >> straight up the party. come

on. take it up. take it up, mike. >> i'm gonna just bring the old jewish guy back up. but he's never going to run again. shouts out to bernie. if if the democrats were the party that truly say they aspire to be nina turner would be the first black woman president, first woman president, she'd be the most progressive president that we've seen in the last 20, 25 years. i've lost a lot of my faith in what we say we want versus what we actually want. and i see the democratic front runner probably being a white man, probably coming out of midwest. what's my guy in illinois? >> jb pritzker. >> jb pritzker is probably going to be i think that america is leaning toward white male. i think that there's. >> something why do we have to put it in terms of that? >> because i'm black. >> and. and and it all. >> comes down to that, to be very honest with you, if you want to see. >> yeah. now we're getting honest. >> if you want to see a litmus test for how this country is going to bend, look at any given moment, how treating black or working class people, a lot of times white working class people forget they're black too. then they get a black moment. they're like, oh shit, we're all in the same boat together. and what i mean by that is when i was a

kid, i thought that that you couldn't put u.s. army in ice and shit in american neighborhoods. yet here we are. what's your fucking name? santiago. it's my middle name. and i'm just like, i promise. my mom just got off a wine bottle. i'm not from south of the border, but what? i think that this country. sanders said at the end of his last campaign. we need to pay attention to the white working class. a lot of people in my community took that offensively as though he was ignoring us, and he wasn't. what he saw was the white working class was going to turn the tide, and they did. and they went to the wrong side. and that being realized now, i think that they're going to be looking for another white man. i think he's going to have to identify with some working class. >> so the democrats. >> just. >> can't we can't just pick the best person we have to, because i feel like when they get into this box checking thing, yeah, it just leads them astray because like, kamala was like, okay, we had to have someone of color. we had to have a woman. and then when when she gets the job, then she has to go the other direction and pick as vice president, a lame white guy.

>> with super white guy. >> right. okay. so we're. >> like, we're always balancing it out instead of just. >> as someone who's probably worked on more campaigns than i like to admit. we don't really pick candidates that way. we don't go in and look in the crayon box and say, oh, i can't wait to get that little one. no. we actually have a very rigorous exercise that involves taking candidates through the early states. >> and trump made it through. >> that. trump. trump didn't make it through anything. okay, we know that. but on the democratic side, yeah, we're going to have a vigorous primary. it's an open season. and you know what happens in open seasons. we get a large number of people who are interested. so of course we're going to have about 8 or 9 governors, including mr. shapiro, possibly mr. moore and maybe mr. newsom. we don't know. but there are many governors who are interested. gretchen whitmer because i want to mention some of the women. women are not going to sit back and wait to be called. we are going to continue

to march forward. we might also look at members of congress. aoc is interested, maybe ro khanna is interested. we have united states senators, some who have run before, like klobuchar, like booker, like chris murphy, who might also decide to run. it's going to be an open season. we will have plenty of time to really go through it. but i agree with one thing you said. it's going to be a great year for democrats because the american people are tired. >> of they are they they're tired of the overreach. >> they're tired of overreach, and they're going to look for alternatives, not just any democrats. and let me say one last thing. i get myself in trouble. please help me out. we're going to have a generational shift in our country. democrats have been for years. we like the candidate with the most experience, most gray hair bullshit. we want somebody who is forward looking, who's young and restless, searching for tomorrow with one life to live, because the american people want something different. did i put it all together for you.

now, on the liberal side, there's two camps. now, we need to keep talking to people. wing and the go. no contact wing. that's what they call it. now go. no contact. this belief that trump voters, even if it's your own parents, are too deplorable for human contact and must be cut off. you know, like scientologists do to suppressive people. a former speechwriter for obama named david litt wrote an op ed this year called is it time to stop snubbing your right wing family, where he admitted he'd had a change of heart and that was the wrong approach. so, of course, then the woke wing tried to banish him for breaking ranks on their policy of hating people who don't agree with you on everything. because what fun is life if you're not cutting somebody off? mr. litt asked the

question, what has all this banishing accomplished? oh, i know, i know. a second helping of maga. that's what molly mcnearney jimmy kimmel's wife and head writer, went public on this topic recently. so i feel it's fair to comment respectfully in public, she says she's lost relationships with relatives because she wrote them an email before the election with ten reasons why they shouldn't vote for trump, and some still didn't obey. so, you know. ten reasons i could think of 100. but i would never present it to someone as an ultimatum. ultimatums don't make people rethink their politics. they make them rethink you. >> so somewhere along the way,

my values became code for i'm the only one with a moral compass. >> you know, it would have been a better exercise. write a top ten list to yourself where you try to imagine ten reasons why 77 million americans didn't want to trust you with taking power. and i say that as someone who votes democratic, as i like to remind my very pure friends, we voted for the same person. you're just why she lost can we please. try to remember, especially at this time of year, that most people don't decide their politics. they inherit them. it's about where you grew up in america, what your parents taught you, your life experiences, your religion marjorie taylor greene of georgia was here recently, and i was amazed by the number of people who reached out after the show to say, wow, i kind of like

her. yeah, that's been my line for a while. everyone's a monster to you. talk to them on our overtime segment that night, someone asked about the alien spaceship. maybe you've been reading about it. the three one atlas comet that's headed to earth and will arrive on december 19th to wipe out all life as we know it it's a joke, don't worry. and when i quoted people in our own defense department who had said, well, hold on, what you think might be aliens actually could be fallen angels or demons. marjorie agreed, saying, absolutely. she said, i'm a christian conservative. angels and demons. that's what we believe. okay, i think that's nuts. but you know what? so is is this a girl or a boy? i can't tell by its penis

i'm not going to go through wokingham's greatest hits now. but you know, the safety ism, the open borders queers for palestine, whatever this was. i mean, i could go on. really. there's a lot of stuff the other side has their top ten list, too, and some of it's pretty hard to argue with. and i know, i know, the president of the united states called a woman piggy this week, and you're a better person than me because you hate it more than i do. but i hate it too. really. as well as a thousand other things about the trump administration, i never stopped pointing out on this show, but i'm an adult, and in the real world, there's some people you just can't stop talking to. like your spouse or partner. after a bad fight. tempting

as that is. like your dick of a boss like your family, and like the president of the united states. this is so childish, so purely emotional. the people who got all butt hurt because i had dinner with them, you know, because he's hitler except he's not so unhelpful and dumb. trump is the most supportive president. israel and the jews ever had. you know, every year i used to ask larry david to do real time, and he'd always say, bill, i can't. i'm not smart enough about politics to do your show. yeah, i get that now. because there is no argument here. there's just the sugar rush that the no contact people get from never coming in second in a i hate trump the most contest really? that's your strategy to go full

high school until the guy with all the power, he can't sit with you at the lunch table, to borrow a phrase familiar to hbo viewers, you are not serious people. >> i mean, what exactly. >> is the argument that by talking to trump, i'll elevate him? oh my god, don't tell me he could become president. well, i guess mamdani is going to elevate trump because he went to the white house today. and look who's getting along now. >> this. >> this guy was at the white white house this week. biden thought he could cut him off. but a year later, he found out he couldn't. there's no perfect way to deal with trump, but not engaging is for sure. nothing, axios wrote a column in august entitled 11

ways to influence trump, based on many interviews with people who have done that. number eight get face to face. the trick is getting in the room away from cameras and social media. trump will say or write horrible things, but rarely in person, one on one, where he comes off kinder, more interested, less erratic. exactly. and there's a bunch of examples of this. most recently, the ceo of intel who trump was hating on. but then he met in person, and now he's a great guy. trump was going to send the national guard to san francisco, but somebody talked him out of that. kim kardashian, for fuck's sake, convinced him to sign legislation. don't you. >> get it? >> do you really not get it? at this point? everything with him is done through personal relationships. he's a people guy. trust me, he's not at home at night poring over the briefing books. this is

government by people who are saying, if anything, we need more people like me having dinner with him. you complain he's surrounded by ass kissers. but your strategy is to make sure no one but ass kissers are around him. you are not serious people hey., rachel maddow went to dick cheney's funeral yesterday. we can do this. people. it's thanksgiving. do yourself a favor. get over yourself and go have it with your family. >> thank you very much for a great season. you are the best audience every week these days. i appreciate it so much. thank you hbo, my wonderful staff. we're back after the holidays on january 23rd. i want to thank killer mike, donna brazile and mel robbins club random drops every monday while we're off on youtube. or listen wherever you get your podcasts. now go watch.
